CHAPTER 83: CHAPTER 83: TRULY CURED

Aunt Qin stepped closer, her nose twitching, "Oh my, it really doesn’t smell anymore."

"This is truly healed!"

She clapped her hands forcefully, "Remarkable, truly remarkable."

"Doctor Gu is truly amazing, after seeing so many doctors who couldn’t cure it, she’s made you well!"

Aunt Qin emphasized again, "Your father couldn’t cure his illness back then either!"

She patted her head, "I remember Ah Tie taking medicine for a long time, dumping the dregs on the road every day for people to step on, isn’t that right, Ah Tie?"

Ah Tie nodded vigorously, "I took medicine for half a month and applied ointment, and only then did it stop oozing pus."

"It didn’t scab, it turned into a hard lump, then after half a year, it started oozing pus again."

"I feel like this time it’s truly healed."

Aunt Qin smiled at Ah Tie, "It’s good if it’s really healed."

"Otherwise, with that sore, you wouldn’t even be able to find a wife!"

Aunt Qin suddenly slapped her thigh, "Oh dear, what am I chatting with you all here for, I have something to do." With that, she left in a hurry.

Yun Jiao smiled at Ah Tie, "It’s quite good. From today, you won’t need that medicine anymore. Moving forward, maintain hygiene, try to eat less hot-natured foods due to your constitution, avoid chili, Sichuan pepper, black pepper, don’t eat those; also eat less ginger, green onions, and garlic."

"And don’t eat mutton or dog meat either."

Ah Tie nodded, "I remember now."

After Yun Jiao finished speaking, she planned to leave, but Ah Tie suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.

This illness, although not a major one, had truly tormented him.

During the years of his illness, he rarely spoke to anyone, keeping his distance when he saw people.

He thought he would have to live like a ghost for the rest of his life.

He even considered ending his life several times; in death, he would meet his mother, the only person who never despised him.

But he met a second person who didn’t despise him—Doctor Gu, who used a medicine that cost him nothing to cure his illness, allowing him to live like a normal person.

One could say she gave him a new life.

He truly wished he could repay her by serving her eternally.

But he couldn’t even afford the consultation fee, and besides kowtowing, he didn’t know what else he could do.

Zhao Lizheng and Sun happened to be passing by from somewhere, and seeing this, Sun was startled, "What’s going on, bowing like this in broad daylight!"

Yun Jiao quickly stepped aside, "Stop kowtowing, the ground is dirty, now that you’re healed, just go home and live well."

Ah Tie got up from the ground and quickly ran off.

Sun, having come to her senses, said, "So, did you really cure the sore on his head?"

Yun Jiao nodded and went into the courtyard.

Outside, Sun clicked her tongue, "A few days ago, this girl took Ah Tie’s pulse, and I said she was messing around, but to think she really cured him."

Zhao Lizheng squinted, "What do you mean by girl, girl? Speak respectfully, I’ve heard people call her Doctor Gu."

Sun glanced at her husband, wanted to say something, then shut her mouth.

Never mind, she already knew her husband was naturally diplomatic; otherwise, this position of Lizheng wouldn’t have been his turn.

Zhao Lizheng had already started planning in his mind.

He had heard about Yun Jiao diagnosing Zhang Dalang’s wife’s pregnancy and curing Guihua with stove ashes, thinking it was just luck.

Now, having cured Ah Tie as well, it couldn’t be dismissed as mere luck.

This was enough to prove she truly had excellent medical skills.

Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t think of offending a doctor, especially one with superior skills; who knows when you might need them to save your life.
